Ben's Blueprint

This is EVERYTHING that I do, every single day. This includes multiple sessions per day (Typically 2 sessions, AM and PM) that contain weightlifting programs, gymnastics and skill work, metcons, conditioning, and partner workouts. You will be following 1 week behind my schedule. I will provide explanations for each workout and what the goals/stimulus should be. When available, I will post my times along with others who did the workouts with me. My programming is not periodized in any specific way. You can jump in at any time. This is the exact way I have trained for the last 8 years, and I'd love to share it with you.

Essential Framework

This program is a tailored version of Ben’s Blueprint. The workouts will be the same for the most part, but the volume will be designed for those who only have 60-90 minutes per day to train. Ben’s Blueprint is a lot of volume; the Essential Framework program will take the most important pieces from each day of Ben's Blueprint so that you can get the absolute most from your time at the gym. You'll get a combination of strength, gymnastics, skill work, metcons, conditioning, and partner workouts. If I only had 90 minutes each day to train, these are the things I'd choose to do. Maintain a balanced life by prioritizing your time inside the gym, so that you can maximize your time away from it.

Affiliate Design

Programming specifically designed for your affiliate. Each workout is intended for a class time of 60 minutes. Included will be strength programs, conditioning, gymnastics, metcons, skill work, etc. Scaling options are always provided for movements or workouts that could need scaling! Programming will be provided a week ahead of time so that you have time to prepare accordingly. Explanations for each workout/session, the intended stimulus, scaling, time caps, etc. will always be provided. We'll take care of the programming so that you can spend more time building your business, your community, and your coaching staff.

Program Philosophy

Ben’s programming is designed to increase general physical fitness across the board in all domains. While built around the CrossFit Games season, there are no phases, cycles, or any similar progressions, just classic CrossFit! It is Ben’s strong belief that the needs of a GAMES Champion and the needs of an aging grandparent differ by volume and degree only. Ben offers three platforms that cover the range of CrossFit performance goals: Ben's Blueprint, Essential Framework, & Affiliate Design.
